WHY YOU SHOULD GET TEETH WHITENING DONE AT THE DENTIST?

Why I should get teeth whitening done at my dentist when it is offered by cosmetic clinics and mobile teeth whitening services at cheaper prices? The question we often get asked. Sometimes people also ask about over the counter tooth whitening gels and toothpastes with activated charcoal, which are cheaper and easily accessible.

Teeth whitening is a procedure used by dental professionals to whiten stained discoloured teeth. This process is safe and effective if done under dentist supervision. Teeth usually get 6-8 shades lighter with in-chair teeth whitening, boosting confidence in those who are struggling with yellow stained teeth.

Your dental professional will examine all your teeth and gums to check if you are suitable for professional in-chair or take home tooth whitening trays.

If you have restorations, your dentist will discuss with you about stained fillings and changing colour of fillings after teeth whitening.

3 Tips to prevent tooth decay

TOOTH DECAY

3 TIPS TO PREVENT TOOTH DECAY

Tooth decay is the most common problem in adults and children. Tooth decay is preventable. Follow these 3 tips to prevent dental decay and keep your teeth healthy:

BRUSH YOUR TEETH WITH FLUORIDATED TOOTHPASTE TWICE A DAY

Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste. Bacteria that cause dental decay get worse if the plaque and food debris are left on the teeth for a long time. You should brush twice a day to get rid of these bacteria and keep your teeth plaque and food debris free. Fluoride helps with strengthening and repairing teeth and prevent dental decay. Ask your dentist if you are brushing your teeth properly. Make sure you are cleaning all parts of your teeth including in-between teeth with floss or interdental brushes.

Dental Veneers

DENTAL VENEERS

Veneers offer patients the opportunity to improve the overall appearance of teeth and create a beautiful smile. Veneers have the ability to “dress-up” teeth and improve your smile. A natural looking smile is now achievable with veneers.

WHAT ARE VENEERS?

Veneers are thin porcelain or composite resin facings that are bonded to the front of teeth. They are between 0.3mm and 1mm thick and are often used as an alternative to crowns. They are extremely thin and in most cases require less of the natural tooth to be removed when compared to crowns. Veneers are strong and durable making them a popular cosmetic dental treatment for creating a beautiful smile.

There are two types of veneers – Porcelain and composite resin. Porcelain veneers are custom made and designed to be bonded to the front of the tooth and they look and feel natural. With CEREC advanced technology, we now make veneers at our premises in Indooroopilly and are ready in a single visit.

Composite resin are applied by the dentist layer by layer until the desired result is achieved and you get a toothlike look and feeling.

CAN I GET VENEERS ON THE SAME DAY?

making children's dental visit comfortable

Children and parents can become anxious or nervous about the dental appointment. Children’s dental visits can be a comfortable and informative experience for both parents and kids.

DR SINGH RECOMMENDS:

The best way to deal dental visit anxiety is to make your child aware of the importance of dental health and dental visits.
Try to talk positively about dental visits.
Don’t share your dental experiences with your children.
Try to make first dental visit towards their first birthday. Introduce dentist as the one who looks and checks the teeth and suggest how to take care and brush properly.
Never use any negative terms that could impact your child’s mental state before visiting the dentist.

Teething in Babies

SOOTHING YOUR TEETHING BABY

TEETHING IN BABIES

You might have noticed frequent crying, problem sleeping, more drooling, red cheeks, refusing food and trying to nibble and chew on any thing he or she can get their hands on. Teething in babies usually happens around 3-7 months. This time can vary as each child is different.

Stay patient and positive, teething isn’t fun for anyone. Its not easy seeing your baby crying, waking up from the sleep in the middle of the night but remember your baby’s teeth are poking out of gums which causes pain and irritation. It is natural to feel a little helpless, but you can do a few things to soothe your baby down. Try and see what works for your baby as each child is different.
